Railway trade unions have decided to call off the strike action. The decision to call off the strike was made following a special discussion with the Cabinet sub-committee appointed to look into the matter.
The strike was launched by the trade unions of railway guards, station masters and engine drivers last Thursday over a number of issues including the alleged irregularities in the recruitment process of employees.

Who is paying for the losses due to strike?
This mother f**king railway drivers earning bigger salaries more than Sri Lankan professors should be interdicted and sacked off. Any single penny should not be paid more. Instead, their salaries have to be reduced.
Striking has now become a play. The government should let them do these things which damage our economy.
